Notes

  1. ^ There is some dispute as to whether Arthur was in fact born in Canada. See [1] for details.
  2. ^ All Massachusetts-born Presidents have been born in Norfolk County.
  3. ^ Note: Bill Clinton's home in his first four years is sometimes called the Bill Clinton Birthplace, although the name is misleading.

  6. ^ a b Born in the Waxhaw region on the North Carolina/South Carolina border. Exactly on which side of the border Jackson was born in is unknown; two cabins 100 m apart on each side of the border are both claimed to be his birthplace. Jackson himself claimed South Carolina as his birth state. http://www.postcardsfrom.com/stamp/stamp-sc.html
